But they don't bring it up again. No. Instead, the two roommates do they're best to avoid the couple the next day. And the day after that, and so on.
If either person walks into a room, Colby and Aaron would leave while sputtering out a lazy excuse - such as editing that needed to be done, before practically running out of the room.
To their defence, both boys didn't know what really happened. Or even been in a situation that required them to handle it. Call it selfish but it does happen. And one week later, they will be devastated on how they dealt with it. But that's for a later date. Now, all they could think about doing is giving the couple space.
The sudden tension within the walls of the house was not unnoticed by the other two roommates: Sam and Elton. Rather, they were confused on the sudden coldness of Aaron and Colby. Both tried to interfere and ask them on several separate occasions but the other two just made excuses: such as videos had to be filmed or edited.
But the interagation lasted three days before Sam and Elton stopped, knowing they weren't getting anywhere with it. Instead, they stay at home more and work within the more 'public' areas of the house - such as the living room or kitchen rather than their own isolated rooms. They figured that if they did this, then maybe they could understand the tension between the other four roommates.
And they noticed. It took only a day to notice.
Corey and Devyn were always at each other's sides. Where one was, there was the other just a few inches away. But more so, Corey would be following his girlfriend where ever she moved and Devyn would always be looking behind her to see if he was behind her. Or if Corey went for a drink in the fridge, Devyn would watch him with a glare. Almost like she expected Corey to be her lap-dog.
From this, Sam and Elton came to the same conclusion: something was happening between the couple. What? They couldn't say. Not yet. Maybe if they just observed them a couple more times before they could make an actual conclusion.
